You’ve found the sweet spot where Texas history, open‑air fun, and neighborly spirit intersect. Richmond rewards curiosity, whether you’re chasing green space, one‑of‑a‑kind shops, or echoes of the past in every downtown brick.
Discover Richmond’s Rich Past: Museums, Landmarks & Historic Districts
Step into the story at Fort Bend Museum, where costumed guides walk you through Victorian‑era homes. Stroll a few blocks to the Historic Downtown District for red‑brick storefronts, antique shops, and the storied Morton Cemetery. Ten minutes south, the sprawling George Ranch Historical Park covers four generations of cattle‑raising grit.
Shop Local at the Richmond Farmers Market and Community Gardens
Saturday mornings glow at the Richmond Farmers Market with kettle corn, pasture‑raised eggs, and live acoustic sets under giant oaks. Mid‑week, breathe in herbs and buzzing pollinators at Preston Street Community Garden, where you can swap tips with local green‑thumbs.
